Product details
Overview
AD7914BRUZ from Analog Devices is a 10-bit, 1 MSPS, 4-channel successive approximation ADC with integrated channel sequencer, operating from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply and delivering 61 dB SNR at 50 kHz input frequency. It features four single-ended analog inputs, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible serial interface, and 0.5 µA full shutdown current. It is used in multichannel data acquisition systems requiring high throughput and low power in space-constrained industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the AD7914BRUZ datasheet, AD7914BRUZ pinout, AD7914BRUZ application, or AD7914BRUZ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-qualified package (16-lead TSSOP), and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts - all extracted exclusively from Analog Devices' Rev. C datasheet and official pinout documentation.
Technical Context
The AD7914BRUZ implements a standard SAR architecture with no pipeline delay, using CS falling edge to initiate sampling and SCLK as master clock for conversion timing. Its internal track-and-hold supports >8 MHz input bandwidth and achieves 300 ns acquisition time for both sine-wave and full-scale step inputs.
It integrates a 2-bit addressable channel sequencer controlled via ADD1/ADD0 and SEQ1/SEQ0 bits in the control register, enabling preprogrammed cycling across VIN0–VIN3. The VDRIVE pin decouples logic I/O voltage (2.7 V to 5.25 V) from AVDD, allowing direct interfacing with 3 V or 5 V microcontrollers independent of analog supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit - delivers 1024 discrete output codes with guaranteed no missing codes over full temperature range. |
| Throughput Rate | 1 MSPS maximum - supports real-time sampling of fast transients in motor control feedback or vibration monitoring. |
| SNR @ 50 kHz | 61 dB minimum - enables accurate digitization of medium-bandwidth sensor signals (e.g., accelerometers, pressure transducers) without oversampling. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.5 LSB max / ±0.5 LSB max - ensures monotonicity and linearity critical for closed-loop control accuracy and calibration stability. |
| Power Dissipation | 6 mW max at 3 V / 13.5 mW max at 5 V - allows battery-powered or thermally constrained designs without active cooling. |
| Channel Isolation | −85 dB typical at 400 kHz - prevents crosstalk between adjacent channels during simultaneous multichannel acquisition. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.5 µA maximum - supports ultra-low-power sleep modes in portable instrumentation and IoT edge nodes. |
Pinout & Package
AD7914BRUZ is housed in a 16-lead TSSOP package (JEDEC MO-153, 5.0 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm body height) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement and qualified for automotive applications (−40°C to +125°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SCLK | Serial clock input | Master clock for both data transfer and internal conversion timing; 10 kHz–20 MHz range enables flexible speed/power trade-offs. |
| DIN | Control register data input | Accepts configuration bits (RANGE, CODING, SEQ1/SEQ0, ADD1/ADD0) on SCLK falling edge to set input range and sequencing behavior. |
| CS | Chip select / conversion trigger | Active-low signal that initiates sampling on falling edge and frames serial communication - eliminates external timing logic. |
| AGND (Pins 4,8,13,16) | Analog ground reference | Common return for all analog circuitry; must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling into sensitive analog front-end. |
| AVDD (Pins 5,6) | Analog power supply | Single 2.7–5.25 V rail powers analog core; dual AVDD pins reduce IR drop and improve PSRR performance. |
| REFIN | External reference input | Accepts 2.5 V ±1% reference; determines full-scale range (0–REFIN or 0–2×REFIN) and directly impacts absolute measurement accuracy. |
| VIN0–VIN3 (Pins 9–12) | Single-ended analog inputs | Four dedicated channels with 20 pF input capacitance; unused inputs must be tied to AGND to prevent noise pickup and offset drift. |
| DOUT | Serial data output | MSB-first stream: two leading zeros + two address bits + ten conversion bits + two trailing zeros - simplifies firmware parsing. |
| VDRIVE | Digital I/O supply | Independent 2.7–5.25 V rail sets logic thresholds; enables seamless interfacing with 3 V or 5 V host processors without level shifters. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Four-channel sequencer | Preprogrammable channel cycling (e.g., VIN0→VIN1→VIN2→VIN3) reduces host CPU overhead and enables deterministic acquisition timing. |
| No pipeline delay | True one-shot conversion per CS assertion - eliminates latency uncertainty and simplifies time-critical control loop synchronization. |
| VDRIVE voltage independence | Allows digital interface to operate at 3 V while analog section runs at 5 V - avoids level-shifter components and PCB routing complexity. |
| Flexible input range selection | Software-selectable 0–REFIN (straight binary) or 0–2×REFIN (twos complement) via RANGE bit - supports both unipolar and bipolar-biased signal conditioning. |
| Automotive qualification | Qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C) - suitable for engine control units, battery management, and ADAS sensor fusion modules. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the AD7914BRUZ?
The AD7914BRUZ supports a maximum throughput rate of 1 MSPS, achieved with a 20 MHz SCLK and 16-clock conversion cycle. This rate is maintained across its full operating temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) and supply voltage range (2.7 V to 5.25 V), making it suitable for real-time control loops and dynamic signal capture without interpolation or oversampling.
Does the AD7914BRUZ require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the AD7914BRUZ requires an external reference applied to the REFIN pin. The datasheet specifies 2.5 V ±1% for guaranteed performance, and the input range can be configured as either 0 V to REFIN or 0 V to 2 × REFIN via the RANGE bit in the control register. No internal reference is provided.
Can the AD7914BRUZ interface directly with a 3 V microcontroller?
Yes, the AD7914BRUZ can interface directly with a 3 V microcontroller using the VDRIVE pin. By tying VDRIVE to 3 V, the digital I/O thresholds (VINH/VINL) and output levels (VOH/VOL) align with 3 V logic, while AVDD may remain at 5 V for optimal analog performance - eliminating level-shifters and simplifying interconnect.
How does the channel sequencer in the AD7914BRUZ operate?
The AD7914BRUZ sequencer uses SEQ1/SEQ0 and ADD1/ADD0 bits in the control register to define a fixed sequence (e.g., VIN0→VIN1→VIN2→VIN3) that cycles automatically on successive CS assertions. Each conversion result includes a 2-bit address field in the DOUT stream, enabling firmware to identify the source channel without additional address control lines.
Is the AD7914BRUZ qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the AD7914BRUZ is qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 standards, supporting operation from −40°C to +125°C. This qualification covers the BRUZ variant explicitly, as confirmed in the "Automotive Products" section of the Rev. C datasheet and the Ordering Guide.
